Sail the seas for plunder and adventure!

Avast, me hearties! With firing cannons and a mermaid on the prow, the famous pirate ship Brickbeard's Bounty is sailing the Seven Seas in search of adventure and gold. Will the pirates make the Admiral's daughter walk the plank into shark-filled waters, or will the soldiers rescue her and capture the pirates' treasure? The action never stops with 3 pull-action cannons, removable captains quarters, walk the plank feature and more! Includes 4 pirates, 2 soldier's, Admiral's daughter, monkey, shark and mermaid! Ship measures 22" (56cm) long and over 17" (44cm) tall!

Good, but not really good enough

Posted by mgmad in New Zealand on 19 November 2009

This ship is good, but it's not really up to the standards of previous pirate ships (much like most of the new line, actually). It does have some nice detail around the stern and cabin, but it lacks any sort of fo'castle in the bow, where the mounted muskets are, making them a bit useless. Also a bit disappointing not to see any kind of rigging, the mast and sails are probably the biggest let down. Also, is it just me, or is the quality of plastic on modern Lego not quite as it used to be? This was the first new Lego set I'd bought in quite a while, and it just seems cheaper than the old stuff to me.

On the plus side, the new shark is nice and the figurehead is quite good too. The wench is a nice touch, and will be going on our wedding cake as a topper ;)

I think this set is absolutely great!
I finally got a shark when I bought this set, I got it for my birthday.
The mermaid is good because you can detach it from the front.
The ONLY con/downside of this set is that you only get two cannons, there should be four I think because there are four spaces for the cannons.
I suppose if you have the other sets you can add the other cannons.
The sails are wonderful. And the captains cabin is really well designed and posh.
I rate this set:
9/10

Thanks for reading my review.

Wow....was the reaction I had when I was half way through building the set. I was not done with the captain's room, not even close to hoisting the sails or installing the masts.

I love the colors, the attention to small details. Great set to own and build. I enjoyed every moment of the build and could not help but stop in between to admire the design.

I am sure that this ship (hopefully, one of many more) will be my favorite. I do not feel like taking it apart. Go out and get it.

One of the best sets of 2009!

Posted by brickfilmer101 in United States on 06 July 2009

I've always wanted a LEGO Pirates set but none were out at the time. When I got some LEGO'S from a guy that didn't want them and it had the old 80's Pirates in it. Later on, I received the 2009 LEGO Pirates ship. It is awesome! I love the cannons and the Captain's Quarters. This is a must have for kids and AFOL'S.
